Can I have hyaluronidase injection right away after Restylane under eyes?

I did restylane under my eyes last week and my doctor injected too much on my left side. She injected Hyaluronidase right away after my restylane injection. Now it's already one week after injection. There is still a around 2cm plump. Is it normal? Thank you~

Yes, and you can have more injected if needed. That being said, it's appropriate to inject cautiously in a situation such as this (ie, no urgency) since it is possible to reduce it too much, just as it is to over-inject a filler, particularly if you have otherwise been happy with the results of this procedure.Speak with your plastic surgeon and see if you can have a little more injected.Good luck,Dr. E

Injection of fillers around the eyes is a tricky procedure.In general the closer to the rim of the orbit you get the bigger is the chance for irregularities.Localized swelling during the procedure is usually caused by soft tissue trauma and bleeding more so than large deposits of filler.

Immediate compression massage can help the even distribution of the filler.In general hyaloronidase injection are reserved for treatment of irregularities and prolonged swelling which do not respond to conservative therapy. They are very seldom needed earlier the 2-4 weeks after the the treatment.During the break down process the bi products attract water in the area causing localized swelling.

In your case the best thing to do is to wait.You should be reevaluated by the physician who performed the procedure.If the swelling persist for for more than 4-6 weeks additional treatment with hyalorunidase might be required.

The good news is that the problem you are describing will resolve just be patient.

Normally, I would not recommend injecting hyaluronidase immediately after injection of Restylane under the eyes. I do not think this would harm anything, but there can be some swelling that occurs as the result of the Restylane injection, and I would recommend waiting at least a week or two after the injection before deciding whether hyaluronidase was needed or not. When hyaluronidase is used, sometimes more than one treatment may be needed to bring down the excess Restylane all the way. I would contact the physician who injected you to be evaluated because you may just need another hyaluronidase injection.
